Either way, your setup is perfect as is.
just as an example, this is the SPC kit I have...

Anil, thanks man...yeah, I plan to leave it as is and see how I can handle it. It actually drives nicely...I set my rebound to soft a long time ago and haven't messed with it. There are only a handful of times that I am worried about scaping the bottom of the front bumper or even the jpipe (especially now that it's wrapped). I DO love how it looks though!

About Xibit, I love that guy...he can do no wrong. I love when you aholes come in here and correct me and each other. Reminds me that we're all full of crap.

Jay, actually, that is the upper camber arm...you CAN dial in a LITTLE more camber on top to bring the tire in to allow a little better clearance. Then you can lower yourself to where you desire.

i must have mine set to too many posts per page, I'm at page 50 for me.

Plus, there's nothing juvenile about a little 69 action amongst friends.

Jer...i think its set to 40 post's per page.....

69pages * 40 post = 2760 posts and we are on 2732.....(i did not use a calculator for that 70x40 is 2800 so 69x40 is 2800-40 which is 2760 )

i think when you said you are at 50, you meant it in a funny way

His "package"? Is that it?

Me too the look on that guy's face is just...priceless. He looks like he's enjoying it a little too much.

Yes of course I can... That is why I am waiting for the IB and family for final stance. I was just trying to let u know I WANT TO but not able to at this point since I have more mods and issues to tackle before lowering it 1/2~1in more. No need to dial in now, add the IB later just to redial again from the weight gain. But for now, no complaints where it stands now

...trust me, i figured that was coming.
You basically unapologetically called me a moron...I was pissed! Plus, you mix my car and home life, which I hate doing.

Now back to my topic...where the fk is my damn worm. I'd want to get both my hands and mouth on that thing. On a serious note, you guys ever have a NERDS ROPE candy?! To die for.
